Kent Youngblood's preview:
Opening bell: After a 35-point victory over Long Island University at Williams Arena Wednesday, the Gophers get another nonconference opponent coming off a difficult 2022-23 season. The Cougars — who lost 105-54 to the Gophers last year — are 0-2 after a one-sided loss at Detroit Friday.
Watch her: Mara Braun, the Gophers guard picked for the preseason all-Big Ten Conference team, got off to a quick start in Wednesday's win. She made nine of 15 shots, went 5-for-11 on threes and scored 25 points and six assists.
Forecast: This should be another opportunity for Gophers coach Dawn Plitzuweit to use a lot of players and lineups. Five Gophers scored in double figures against LIU — Braun, Sophie Hart, Mallory Heyer, Grace Grocholski and Nia Holloway.
